The Map to Your Hidden Self

Ever wonder why you keep making the same relationship mistakes? Or why certain people drain your energy while others fill you up? The Enneagram-a powerful personality system identifying nine distinct ways of seeing the world-offers profound answers. This ancient tool has captivated everyone from Fortune 500 executives to spiritual leaders worldwide. Though its origins remain mysterious (possibly dating back to a fourth-century monk), its uncanny accuracy in revealing our unconscious patterns makes it invaluable for self-discovery. The Enneagram doesn't just describe behavior; it illuminates why we behave as we do by exposing our core motivations and fears. As Oscar Wilde noted, "The final mystery is oneself"-and this nine-pointed geometric figure provides the map to navigate this challenging terrain.
